Amanda Maison and Maurice Houle, her boyfriend at the time of the incident, were taken into custody on Friday and charged with one count each of first-degree murder in the 2018 slaying of 3-year-old Matthew Maison, authorities announced.

According to a Friday news release from the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Office, Matthew was found dead in his bed inside of the family’s Port Huron Township home on Feb. 18, 2018. While no details surrounding the circumstances of the arrests were provided last week, the sheriff’s office said that the arrests were made following “significant recent developments” in the investigation into the toddler’s death.

During their arraignment hearing on Monday, prosecutors said that Matthew suffered “years of abuse at the hands of both defendants,” per courtroom footage posted by Detroit NBC affiliate WDIV.

“We came to realize of a scheme where both defendants conjured up this lie of previous injuries to the victim in our case, Matthew Maison, and came up with the lie about how the injury occurred prior to talking to investigators,” Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Josh Sparling said Monday, adding that both defendants “admitted” that the other abused Matthew.

Sparling alleged that Matthew was subjected to “very cruel, torturous abuse and punishment” such as “being placed in timeout on his knees where his head would be banged off the drywall” and being “locked in his room for hours on end without food or water.”

“There was a prior time where Maurice place a pillow over this child’s face and pretended like he was playing, but yet we know from the autopsy that Matthew died from blunt force trauma from all of the injuries he sustained as well as suffocation,” Sparling said.

The proceedings then took on an even more depraved tone as the prosecutor relayed another pernicious allegation levied against Maison and Houle.

“Not to mention this plan that was put forth to kill Matthew to make room for a child the two of them could have together,” Sparling said.

Amanda Maison’s brother, Andrew Maison, and his wife, Hilery Maison, are currently serving sentences of life in prison without the chance of parole for the 2015 murder of Andrew Maison’s 5-year-old daughter Mackenzie Maison. They were also found guilty of severely abusing his 3-year-old daughter, Makayla Maison.

Quite likely, they don't look smart enough to have two brain cells between them.

Notice how the ones who couldn't even keep a houseplant alive are the ones who are breeding like feral cats? I would not trust any of them to take care of an ant farm, much less a child.

More than seven years after the death of 3-year-old Port Huron Township boy Matthew Maison, his mother has accepted a plea deal, admitting to second-degree murder.

Amanda Mae Maison, 33, appeared before a judge in the 31st Circuit Court on Wednesday, Nov. 5, and admitted that she concealed evidence that her then-boyfriend was abusing her son, Matthew Maison, and also admitted that she participated in the abuse.

During the hearing, Maison said she was involved in a two-year relationship with Maurice Houle from 2016 up until the day of Matthew’s death.

Maison admitted that Houle physically abused Matthew throughout their relationship and that she intentionally concealed her son’s injuries from Child Protective Services and other law enforcement officials during investigations from 2016 through the murder investigation, the sheriff’s office said.

She also admitted that she had physically abused Matthew, too.

Maison said she shoved her 3-year-old son’s head into a wall at their home during a “military style timeout.”

“Further, Amanda admitted that she willfully and wantonly allowed an environment to exist, where Matthew would be systemically abused, and that those abuses eventually resulted in Matthew’s death,” the sheriff’s office said.

Maison also admitted that she and Houle had come up with a plan to conceal how Matthew died.

As part of the plea agreement, Maison agreed to give testimony against Houle if the case heads to trial, and if it does, it’s expected to happen in early 2026.
